With Saquon Barkley taking the vast majority of running back touches, they struggled to find touches for number two back Wayne Gallman Jr. and fullback Elijhaa Penny. It is possible that the Giants believe they can find a reasonable upgrade to the straightforward Gallman as Barkley’s back-up (or a replacement for Paul Perkins). More likely, the Giants would want to keep an eye on the 2019 running back class to help inform their draft board and predict where players at other positions might fall. But in either case, we can’t just ignore the running backs because the Giants took Barkley at second overall in 2018 and he had a fantastic rookie season. Unsurprisingly, running backs from Alabama make appearances in the top five of the running back depth chart (as it stands now). But in the middle of them is Darrell Henderson out of Memphis. Henderson enters the 2019 draft as one of the most productive backs in the country, and his school’s history. He figures to rate highly on most (if not all) draft boards. In any case, it would be a good idea to be familiar with him.MeasurablesProsSolid vision. Sees holes develop and commits quickly. Sudden out of his breaks. Little wasted motion.Not afraid to run behind his pads. Great contact balance.

ConsMight be considered too small to be an every-down back by some teams.Willing, but blocking is an issue. Can be run over in pass protection.Doesn’t have the power to push a pile.Numbers Of Note[Dan]Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying - CBS SportsDoes He Fit The Giants?In theory, Henderson is a fit for the Giants’ offense. His outstanding contact ballance and ability to play in either zone or man-gap runs are a good fit for what the Giants want to do on the ground, and his flexibility to line up at receiver is also an advantage in the Giants’ offense.In practice, however, the Giants are going to be looking for running backs (or at least they shouldn’t) -- at least not as highly as Henderson is going to be drafted. He doesn’t have the size to get scouts excited, but he is extraordinarily difficult to bring down with the ball in his hands. Henderson will simply run through arm tackles and bounce off shoulder checks. Really, he is unlikely to be brought down by anything but a good, secure form tackle. It is little wonder then that he has been so productive the last two seasons. Each year he has averaged an impressive 8.9 yards on the ground Phil McConkey Color Rush Jersey , and despite receiving just 233 combined touches last year, he racked up 2204 yards and 25 touchdowns. It is very unlikely that Henderson is a Giant in 2019, but he is going to make some lucky offensive coordinator very happy. The biggest selling point for Dave Gettleman as GM of the New York Giants -- other than his familiarity with the franchise -- is the Carolina Panthers’ history of turning later-round (or undrafted) offensive linemen into productive players. So while the Giants undoubtedly need to invest premium resources into their offensive line, there is also the hope that Gettleman will be able to uncover a diamond in the rough who can grow into a starter at some point early in his career. He has also had a very definite “type” when it comes to linemen, and it usually errs towards “big and powerful.” Michigan featured the nation’s 30th ranked rushing offense, scoring 26 touchdowns, while averaging 4.83 yards per carry and 203.8 yards per game on the ground. Those numbers, in a pro-style offense, should intrigue for a team looking to build its offensive line and emphasize the running game. It would make sense then, to take a look at the big guys blocking up front. Particularly a big offensive lineman who is experienced at a position of need for the Giants.The Giants need help at right tackle and Juwann Bushell-Beatty Andrew Adams Color Rush Jersey , Michigan’s right tackle, could be one of those later round prospects with some upside.MeasurablesHeight: 6-foot-5Weight: 333 poundsProsBig, thick, wide-bodied blockerCapable of weighing anchor and absorbing bull rushes.Flashes the ability to re-anchor against speed-to-power rushes.Capable blocker as long as he stays in front of his man.Generally moves well within his range. Delivers hits to second-level defenders.Played in a pro-style blocking scheme. Learning curve could be shorter. ConsSomewhat slow-footed and shouldn’t be asked to block a big area. Occasionally drops his head or has lazy hands, “catching” defenders.Struggles against speed off the edge. Might be forced to move inside to guard at the next level.Prospect Video(Bushell-Beatty is the right tackle, number 76)Does He Fit The Giants?If the Giants are unable to find an answer for their right tackle position in free agency, and can’t find a good value fit in the first two days of the draft, a player like Bushell-Beatty could intrigue. He is a massive, powerful blocker who still has some mobility, and that fits right in with what Gettleman likes in his offensive linemen.The fact that he played for Jim Harbaugh in Michigan is a mark in his favor Wayne Gallman Color Rush Jersey , as he will be used to playing in pro-style blocking concepts and out of a three-point stance. He is not a terribly athletic blocker, but can move within his range. The problem is that his range isn’t very big, and athletic rushers will force him to cover more ground and more quickly than he is probably able. Much like D.J. Fluker, a move inside to guard might be in order at the next level, though he will need to work on his hand usage inside. His size, power, and potential versatility are all marks in his favor, but as of now he looks more like a late-round developmental player.
